Festive Family Wedding

John and I went out at Christmas many years ago, then got back together at Christmas, then got engaged at Christmas, so we always knew we wanted to get married during the holiday period.
However, when planning the wedding it was hard to find inspiration which wasn't bright red and Santa-themed, or blue and silver winter wonderland, neither of which appealed. I had a very clear picture in my head of a celebration which encompassed the best of the festive period: lots of evergreen, log fires, candles, and of course all our family and friends around us. The result of this was that we designed and made many elements of the wedding (with lots of help from our families!), and created a day with all the features that appealed to us: home-made, locally sourced, and seasonal.
Our beautiful photos were done by the lovely Kimberley York.
